At least one of your Christmas ideas for boyfriend should be fun. Life is pretty serious most of the time so Christmas ideas for men need to look on the bright and light side of life. Of course you should purchase something of real practical use but sometimes it is nice to think of ideas for him that are just silly. Whether the present enables him to play a practical joke (hopefully not on you) or while away some time, it is necessary to cater to his fun side. After all, you don’t want to be known as the nagging girlfriend who takes everything seriously!

Christmas ideas for men should involve him feeling like king of the world. Imagine what it would feel like to be an instant millionaire? You could both quit those day jobs you hate, buy a house or disappear to a tropical paradise. Although the million pound note will help you do precisely none of these things, it is still good to dream. It is one of those Christmas gifts that will probably shock him for a moment or two. A few seconds will go by before he figures out that it is not real. Even though he will be disappointed, after a few minutes, he will start to think of ways in which he can have fun with this humble note. Perhaps he will go to a bank and attempt to lodge it, use it to pay for groceries or as a tip in a restaurant (Note: all of these pranks may get him in trouble).

How about the I’m As Big As height chart as one of your Christmas ideas for your man this year? At first glance, this seems like a regular chart for measuring your height. It does perform this function but it also has a wealth of information designed to satisfy curiosity. The chart measures up to 2 metres in height with each centimetre marked with a piece of information. This knowledge relates to the different sizes of various people, animals and miscellaneous items. Did you know that Pele, the world’s most famous footballer was 1.73 metres tall or that Napoleon, often claimed to be something of a dwarf was actually a respectable 1.69 metres? This is one of those Christmas ideas for men that will not lose its appeal as long as your guy has a thirst for knowledge. This will also help him impress his mates down the pub as well as seeing how he measures up against historical greats.

Ice trays would normally be considered among the most boring Christmas ideas unless it happens to be a bullet shaped trap. That’s right, the Frozen Bullet Ice Cube Tray is the last word in cool. Instead of the usual cube shaped ice blocks you place in your drinks, add some danger to proceedings by adding a bullet-shaped cube instead. If the mafia had thought of this, perhaps they wouldn’t need to put horse’s heads in people’s beds. A bullet ice cube would send out a subtle but deadly message. Of course, as host of a party you’re not inclined to threaten your guests but it is a fantastic way to get their attention. You can guarantee that the ice cube’s shape will not go unnoticed. To complete the illusion, the tray itself resembles an AK-47 magazine.

The above Christmas ideas for boyfriend are far more fun than the usual serious gifts that don’t manage to bring out a single smile. Christmas gift ideas should involve at least one funny present that helps indulge his silly side and show you are not adverse to having some fun and playing practical jokes. The festive season can be a long and laborious one if everyone is intent on playing it straight and choosing Christmas ideas for men devoid of inspiration or fun. No one likes watching the Queen’s speech in serious mode so liven things up with a silly yet fun present or two.
